A Social Study Of The Russian German (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432643355)

""A Social Study of the Russian German"" by Hattie Plum Williams is a comprehensive examination of the history, culture, and social dynamics of the Russian German community. The book delves into the origins of this unique group of people, tracing their roots back to the German immigrants who settled in Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries. Williams explores how these German-speaking communities developed their own distinct identity and culture, and how they were affected by the political upheavals of the 20th century, including the Russian Revolution and World War II.Throughout the book, Williams examines the social and economic conditions that shaped the lives of the Russian Germans, including their relationship with the Russian state, their role in the agricultural economy, and their experiences of discrimination and persecution. She also explores the cultural and religious traditions of the community, including their distinctive folk music, dance, and cuisine, and the role of the Lutheran church in their lives.Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including interviews with Russian Germans living in the United States, ""A Social Study of the Russian German"" provides a rich and nuanced portrait of a fascinating and often overlooked community. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Russia, Germany, or Eastern Europe, as well as for scholars of migration, ethnicity, and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
